The browser-based PlayStation Webstore is a great option for purchasing PlayStation Network content if you’re not near your PlayStation 3. Sadly, any items that you do acquire have to be manually downloaded via the system’s download list, which almost defeats the purpose of the feature in the first place. Thankfully, Sony has a solution.
Starting from May, you’ll be able to push any items that you purchase off the online store directly to your PS3. The tidbit was revealed in SCEE’s official documentation for the recently released firmware update v4.40, which states that “a detailed guide explaining how to make the most of this feature” will be released soon.
There’s still no word on whether this functionality is heading to North America, but it stands to reason that it will. Perhaps we shouldn’t have whined about last week’s firmware update, after all. Let us know if this is a feature that you’ve been waiting for in the comments section below.

Okay... so what about the PS Vita?
@MultiMariosonic No mention of that, yet.
Gotta crawl before you can walk
as long as it's not a PlayStation+ only thing like auto updates then it's fine
I'm really looking forward to this. I only use the Webstore for browsing stuff now since the actual PSN store has become crap. With this update I won't have to use the actual store again.
@get2sammyb Oh, glob.
It would be nice for those long downloads if you could just purchase a game. Then go to bed and not turn your PS on and it would download without you having to turn it on, or leave the system on all night. That's how I would use it anyways. Game downloads really cripple my bandwidth for doing other things on my computer.
